I wanted to put this old log cabin quilt on my weblog and after reading her post I thought now is the time to do it. I started this quilt in 1982 after reading an article in a magazine (see below). It said just buy fabric, make a template and cut all the fabric with your scissers. Than sew them together and you are done. I thought that sounds simple so I might as well make it a big one: 2.50m by 2.65m.

After visiting a store with fabric for curtains (!) I started it but iit was such a big job that it scared me a little and I did not touch it for 8 years. I started finishing the quilt in 1990. When I saw a little quiltshop in my town I asked for advice what to use for the stuffing. I think I bought polyester, but I am not sure.

It doesn't fit as nice a it should be but I didn't mind at that time I think. I did all the sewing with the machine and only quilted the pink square in the middle as you can see above. I washed and dryed the quilt in the machine and it stayed quite good I must say. Very decent curtain fabric!

I recently started to work in a quiltshop in Haarlem, called the Sampler. There is a new team photo taken, you can see it in this post from the weblog of the Sampler. On the 16th of june we present the new courses for the next season and there is a lot to do in the shop, every one is welcome than.
